IBPS PO Reasoning: Coding and Decoding questions with solutions

Q1. Study the following information carefully to answer the question. In a certain code language, 'black is cool color' is coded as 'ku lo si ri', 'beige furniture is boring' is coded as 'xo fi lo bo', 'some movie is black' is coded as 'ko vi lo ku', and 'some black is cool' is coded as 'ko ku lo si'. How will the sentence 'black is not cool' be coded as?

1. ku lo xo bo
2. ku ko ni bo
3. ku lo ni si
4. xo fi lo bo

Answer: ku lo ni si

By comparing the coded sentences, 'black' = ku, 'is' = lo, and 'cool' = si. The remaining new word 'not' must be coded by ni. Therefore, 'black is not cool' becomes ku lo ni si.
